I'm still wondering if there's a point to bringing him in, though. He's a good player, and with Dortmund not having CL he could be a good acquisition, but the way Lucho plays, do we really need another Xavi? Food for thought. I wouldn't be surprised if Lucho wasn't keen.
There is more sense in bringing Gundogon in than Pogba. Pogba will be Cesc saga all over again, except that we have to pay even a bigger amount for Pogba this time.
Barca getting Pogba means he has to be shoved into the first team which means one of Rakitic and Iniesta has to be sacrificed. But that won't be the case for Gundogon. Beside that, Pogba is ridiculously overpriced. I rate Pogba, but not 100m. Gundogon's pricetag is reasonable, no matter his recent form. He can slowly get transmitted into the team, which helps him to get to know the team, the environment and the language better. And he's not under the pressure to have the instant impact nor being forced into the first team, which will be the case for Pogba.
All that aside, I think Gundogon is a better fit for Barca than Pogba. Pogba will be a luxury signing, Gundogon is the reasonable one. So I hope the board doesn't do another Cesc all over again. There is absolutely no necessity to deform our starting eleven (bar the RB position). We need more depth though, ergo getting Gundogon and a back-up CF makes sense.
